same last name? too risky?
 

today might be the day i open up again...but after reading the book and boards i feel a name close to my own is a good choice as far as bank withdrawal goes. is it risky though to use a variation of my first name and the same last name..also my last name is pretty unique. I don''t know if as soon as they see the last name they will ban me...??

E bay and P ay pal won't care millions of people of around the world use them they know alot of people have similar names :)

Just change one or two letters on your name

What I usually do is change couple of letters on my name and address and it works like a charm!
Good Luck anyway

yeah, you know how many times I have gotten Meg Whitman suspend at ebay and paypal? Good thing she moves around a lot.:D

i've only changed first letter of last name and been ok

Good things many of our names are similar!

Sometimes I wish my name was John Smith.

what if to change John Smith with Smith John))? name surname vs surname name

All these ways work - all the best.

Key is to tweak the name(s)....

recall aspkin describes that in the book. He does make that point with using banks.

B4 you make the account and put it to paypal/ebay, post the plan here so we can help you hone the finer points :)
Include which bank you are using as some are nicer than others regarding names
